Besides a passionate commentator, a WNBA icon is also one of the league’s most prominent marketing stars. Apart from backing female ballers, she’s on the mission to impact a financial literacy in her community.
The former Los Angeles Sparks center has been making headlines for her off-court ventures and endeavors. With her most recent comments on her business, the 51-year-old has garnered a new fanbase.

Leslie Jones lately invited Lisa Leslie on “The Daily Show. The two-time WNBA champion talked about a range of subjects, including her foray into real estate and the advantages of financial literacy for players. “A lot of times we ignore these conversations about how to take care of money, how to invest money, and hence, that’s how I got into real estate.”
“I became a real estate professional with my husband. We are in the luxury space with Keller Willaims and get the return on your money,” she said, implying that one can’t be young and gullible always to make money.
Lisa’s advice is to make money when you’re young and learn to compound it to support you in the future.
